JTB Development created TIKA-2766:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Be able to extract raw values from excel, not formatted
Key: TIKA-2766
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2766
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: JTB Development
By default, tika extracts excel values as formatted in the sheet. It's a fine
default.
However, many times, I am asked to extract raw values as the nicely formatted
sheet for human eyes is losing precision.
In local instances, I've cloned the tika classes in order to do so, but it's
messy due to how the code is layered (i wind up extending/copying 3-4 classes
because chain of class construction).
I believe by adding a config option to the open office config class I can
implement same option much more cleanly.
I plan to issue a pull request in few weeks (doing this contribute on the side
based on professional use)
